Abstract

The Open Source Software (OSS) movement has recently gained much popularity as an alternative method of software development. The basic tenets of OSS development are open source code, free redistribution, and non-restrictive licensing. OSS proponents argue that this approach is faster, more ecient, and leads to a better quality of code. With such successes as Linux and Apache to its name, OSS is now beginning to attract serious attention from the commercial software industry.
